Johann,
sorry for the delay. I don't really know what's going on here, but
could it be a line-ending problem (i.e., the old \r vs \n thing)?
I think that I've seen it suggested somewhere to dump the tar executable
which comes with MacOS X and rebuild it from the latest gnu sources.
The instructions were:
wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/tar/tar-1.13.tar.gz
tar -zxvf tar-1.13.tar.gz
cd tar-1.13
cp /usr/libexec/config.guess .
cp /usr/libexec/config.sub .
./configure
make
Please let me know if this helped. (not that it will be of any use to me.
My old beige G3 at home doesn't run MacOS X. Oh, jealousy and envy :)
Bye,
Luigi
